 adit, which forced the water, back into the 

 lump, or place where the Qre-engine draws 

 the water out of the deep part of the mine, 

 and where the men generally work. Forty 

 or fifty of thftm made their efca^je up the 

 ladders, but to prevent their bveath being 

 taken away by the violence ot. ihe water 

 falling on them, threw their .uoUen fliircs 

 over their heaas, and wiih dilRcuU/ reached

WALES. 



It appears from .in accurate calculation, 

 that upwaris of 200 Sundiy Schools have 

 been inftituteJ in Wales, which aftord in- 

 Druftion to about 30,000 children, zni per-

A new train-road from Dinas lime-ftone 

 rock, in the parifh of Pendeiin, Brtconlhire, 

 So communicite with the Neath canal, lias juft 

 been completed by Dr. Bevan of Neath. It 

 will be of the greatcft advartagfi to the pro- 

 prietors of the canal, to the public in general, 

 and to that neighbourhood in particular. 

 Lime-ftone, a very valuable kind of fire-clay 

 fuperior to that of Stourbridge or Flintftiire, 

 and other ufeful articlrs of commerce, can be 

 conveyed at a much cheaper rate than here- 

 tofore ; and the fall being only fix inches and 

 a quarter upon every twenty-two yards, one 

 horfe is able to araw three trams, each con- 

 taining upwards of two tons weight. The ton- 

 nage on the Neath canal will alfo, by the 

 opening of this communication, be greatly 

 jncreafcd. 



The foundation-ftone of the new weftern 

 pier belonging to the CarmarthenAire rail- 

 road company, was lately laid. Several pro-

 fuch occalions, and a liberal lum WjS given to 

 the workmen. This new pier will extend i 55 

 yards, and form one of the moft complete ba- 

 for.s and fafe places nf .Oielter in theprincipalitv.

IRELAND. 



In the North of Ireland, a projpft has been- 

 fubmitted to a number of puolic fpiiited 

 peers, and gentlemen of che counties of Lon- 

 donderry, Tyrone, and Fern)anit;h, nA very 

 dilLmilar from that which promifcs to be of 

 fuch great national utility in the north of 

 Scotland. It is the conftruclion of a navi- 

 gable canal, from the great Lake of Erne, 

 which is forty-five mileb in length, to tnc 

 river Foyle, which communicates with the 

 ci y and harbour of Londonderry. By means 

 of fuch a canal, a gre.-it exLent of dangerous 

 coaft navigation would be avoided ', b- fides, 

 the water commuorcation between tne nu- 

 merous towns on the Chores of Lake Erne, 

 and the great northern port of Londonderry, 

 would be far more liiort and expeditious. 

 The expenses, however, would be very con- 

 fiderable, on account of the high lands 

 which intervene.
